Damn, Yang Chen was dumbfounded. He hadn’t expected so many things to have happened while he and Yang Shuo had swapped identities.

However, it didn’t seem to have anything to do with him. This was a matter between Li Yingying and Yang Shuo, or on a larger scale, between the Yang family and the Li family. He didn’t need to get involved.

“I won’t participate. Yang Shuo, can’t you two just explain it clearly to your parents?” Yang Chen said.

Li Yingying: “But you are one of the parties involved. If you don’t show up and explain, they won’t believe it. Both of our families have already called people [summoned reinforcements]. You can’t just watch us fight here, can you?”

Yang Chen thought for a while and finally nodded in agreement.

The two quickly arrived at the private room and saw a mess. Both families had black eyes and swollen faces, and some were even injured and bleeding. Yang Chen couldn’t help but laugh.

Strictly speaking, the culprit for the current situation was Yang Shuo. If he hadn’t tried to show off and swap identities with Yang Chen, such a series of misunderstandings wouldn’t have occurred, and the two families wouldn’t have fought.

Seeing her family members injured, Li Yingying rushed forward and shouted at the Yang family, “What are you doing? You’re lawless! How dare you hit people!”

Yang Shuo: “Shut up! Why didn’t you say anything when you hit me? If you hadn’t hit me, would our family have fought with yours? You’re the culprit!”

Li Yingying: “You’re talking nonsense! Why did you swap identities with him for no reason? If you hadn’t swapped identities with him and caused misunderstandings, how would the current situation have happened?”

Swap identities?

Both families quickly asked what was going on.

Li Yingying told everyone about Yang Chen and Yang Shuo swapping identities. The private room was silent, and everyone looked at Yang Shuo in disbelief, waiting for him to give an explanation.

Yang Shuo said awkwardly, “That’s right. I just wanted to experience the leisurely life of a ride-hailing driver. I didn’t expect it would cause so many misunderstandings.”

Yang Chen: “Now that everything is clear, I’m leaving.”

Yang Chen turned to leave, but Li Yingying stepped forward and grabbed him, saying, “There’s one more thing I need to clarify. I didn’t like Yang Shuo from the beginning. I went to his office to make it clear, but I mistakenly thought Yang Chen was Yang Shuo. The reason I was willing for our two families to sit down together tonight to discuss the marriage was because I mistook Yang Chen for him. In other words, I like Yang Chen, not Yang Shuo. So, let’s all go home.”

Yang Chen looked at Li Yingying helplessly and said, “Miss Li, it’s not appropriate for you to say that. Aren’t you just creating trouble for me?”

Li Yingying: “Why is it creating trouble for you? The truth should be told as it is. Even if the two families are going to fight, they can’t fight in confusion. Don’t you think so?”

Yang Chen: “Okay, isn’t it clear enough now? Your two families fighting has nothing to do with me.”

Li Yingying: “Don’t go! Tonight’s dinner was arranged for me and you. Now that you’re here, we should talk about our marriage, right?”

Yang Chen looked shocked and quickly pulled his arm back, saying, “Miss Li, you’re being unreasonable. I came in to help you explain things clearly and try to stop your two families from continuing to fight. Not only are you not grateful, but you also want to harm me. You can’t do things like that.”

Li Yingying angrily grabbed Yang Chen’s arm and pinched him, saying, “Am I, Li Yingying, so bad in your eyes? You’re just a ride-hailing driver from Hai City. You don’t understand my status in Jinling City at all. Do you think I’m joking when I say that if I announce I want to get married, the line of suitors could stretch from here to Paris?”

Yang Chen sized up Li Yingying and determined that she was a bit inferior compared to Lin Yiren and others, but she was still a top-quality beauty, scoring about 95 out of 100.

“I don’t deny your statement, but the people in line definitely don’t include me. I don’t have a particularly strong desire for women right now. Sorry,” Yang Chen replied truthfully.

Li Yingying: “Are you gay?”

Yang Chen: “No. I have many girlfriends. How could I be gay?”

Li Yingying: “Oh, oh, oh, look at you bragging. It’s undeniable that you are very handsome, but girls nowadays put money first. You’re just a ride-hailing driver and you want to have many girlfriends? You’re lucky if you can find one who doesn’t mind you being a ride-hailing driver, let alone many?”

Yang Chen: “Yeah, yeah, yeah, you’re right. Can I leave now?”

With that, Yang Chen turned and left.

Li Yingying felt very embarrassed. She had almost confessed to Yang Chen in front of both families, but Yang Chen just left like that, rejecting her so decisively.

“Stop!” Yang Qian shouted loudly.

Yang Chen turned around and said, “Old man, are you talking to me?”

Yang Qian: “What do you think? You’ve made such a mess of our two families, and you think you can just leave like that?”

Yang Chen: “This has nothing to do with me. It was your grandson who took the initiative to ask me to swap identities. I wanted to see how Baole Culture Media could achieve an annual turnover of 2 billion with its size, so I agreed to swap identities with him. Old man, you wouldn’t think I’m just a ride-hailing driver and easy to bully, and want me to take the blame, would you? Yang Shuo, what do you mean by this?”

Yang Shuo now had to carefully consider. If he seriously pursued the responsibility, it was indeed Yang Shuo who requested to swap identities with Yang Chen, leading to a series of misunderstandings and the current situation. Yang Shuo should bear all the responsibility.

But Yang Shuo didn’t want to take responsibility, or rather, he didn’t want the Yang family to form a deadly feud with the Li family.

Therefore, sacrificing Yang Chen, the ride-hailing driver, was the best choice.

Better to sacrifice a friend than to suffer oneself. Yang Chen had to take the blame, whether he wanted to or not.

Yang Shuo: “I said I’d let you be the president for a day and I’d be a ride-hailing driver for a day, swapping that kind of identity. I didn’t ask you to pretend to be me and go on a blind date with Miss Li. Did you see that Miss Li is beautiful and want to use my identity to have designs on her?”

Yang Chen: “Are you out of your mind? She didn’t say she was your blind date! She said she wanted to talk business with me, so I went out for coffee with her. Later, I found out she had no business to discuss, so I left directly. She never mentioned being your blind date from beginning to end. How would I know her identity? Listening to you, you want me to take the blame for your two families fighting each other?”

Yang Shuo: “You should have taken the responsibility in the first place. Shouldn’t you have called me when you encountered such a thing?”

Yang Chen:

“You were beaten and scolded by two passengers on the street, and your face was scratched, but you didn’t tell me! They even gave me a bad review.”

Speaking of which, it was quite a loss, because it wasn’t Yang Chen driving, so the bad review didn’t count against him, and the system didn’t give him a reward.

“You… how do you know so clearly?” Yang Shuo asked quickly.

Yang Chen: “I have a monitor in my car, and the monitor is connected to my phone, so of course I know.”

Yang Qian immediately said, “Humph! It’s all because of you that so many misunderstandings were caused, leading our two families to fight. Now you still want to shirk responsibility onto Xiao Shuo. You really have ulterior motives. Old Li, you understand now, right? The problem lies with this kid! Our two families are fighting fiercely for a stranger. If this gets out, it will be a real joke!”

Li Guo didn’t give Yang Qian any face, saying, “Why are you blaming him for what your grandson did? Just because he’s a ride-hailing driver, you think he’s easy to bully and want him to take the blame, right? I’m telling you, our Li family can’t do such a thing. If it’s Yang Shuo’s responsibility, it’s his responsibility. You can’t shift the blame to anyone!”

Yang Qian: “Li Guo, do you mean you really want to fight me?”

Li Guo: “Otherwise? Or do you think our Li family is afraid of your Yang family!”

Yang Qian: “Fight then! I thought that if our two families fought, we would definitely both suffer heavy losses, and no one would get any advantage, so I tried to save face for you everywhere. Since you don’t appreciate it, then we’ll fight this battle. After we fight, we’ll talk about who’s right and who’s wrong.”

Li Guo: “Okay! Let’s fight!”

At this time, the police comrades arrived.

The Jinling Grand Hotel didn’t want to provoke the Li family and the Yang family, but they couldn’t just watch them fight here, so they secretly called the police to handle it.

Police Comrade: “What’s going on? Why are you fighting?”

Yang Shuo quickly said, “Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. The two families didn’t agree on the bride price, and they got a little anxious while talking. Everyone, go back, we’ve already made up.”

“Talking about the bride price?” The police comrade said with a puzzled look, turning to look at Yang Chen and Li Yingying, who were pulling and tugging at each other, and then asked, “Young man, how much bride price do they want from you?”

Yang Chen quickly explained, “It has nothing to do with me, I’m just a bystander. I’m leaving, you guys talk.”

Li Yingying quickly followed Yang Chen, and Yang Chen quickly asked, “Hey, what are you doing?”

Li Yingying: “I’m interested in you and want to get to know you better.”

Yang Chen: “Stop it, I’m just a ride-hailing driver, I can’t afford a young lady like you.”

Li Yingying: “It’s okay, I can support you.”

Li Guo: “Young man, don’t go, come home with us later and have a good chat. We only have one child, Yingying, and everything in the Li family will be yours in the future. So, whether you’re a ride-hailing driver or the CEO of some group, it doesn’t really make much difference to us. Since Yingying likes you, we elders will naturally support you.”

Li Yingying happily took Yang Chen’s arm and looked up into Yang Chen’s eyes, saying, “Did you hear that? It doesn’t matter how much you earn, our family can afford you.”

Yang Chen: “What do you mean? Am I someone who lives off women?”

Li Yingying: “What’s living off women? If we get married,
The Test of Yang Chen’s Abilities_What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (4)

what’s mine is yours, and what’s yours is mine. It’s joint property of the couple, how can it be called living off women?”

If that were the case, Li Yingying would have made a huge profit, suddenly gaining trillions of wealth.

As they spoke, the people called by the Li family and the Yang family arrived, filling the corridor in a matter of seconds.

Originally, they were making bold claims to give the other side a good beating, but when they saw the police comrades in the private room, they quickly shut up.

Police Comrade: “What are you doing calling so many people here? Do you still want to have a group fight here?”

Yang Qian pointed at Li Guo and said, “He called people first. I can’t just foolishly wait for them to have more people and bully me with fewer people, right?”

Li Guo: “I’m too lazy to talk nonsense with you. Today, the police comrades are here, so I’ll give them some face and not bother with you. But don’t ever fall into my hands in the future, otherwise you will definitely not have a good end. Li Hong, how much is this meal, and the things that were smashed, ask the waiter to calculate it, we’ll pay half, we won’t take advantage of others, and we won’t let others take advantage of us.”

Li Yingying’s father, Li Hong, nodded and said, “Okay.”

Li Guo quickly walked up to Yang Chen, took his hand, and said, “Let’s go, come home with us and chat. Haven’t eaten yet, right? Let’s go to our house for a meal together, and by the way, have a good chat about you and Yingying. Even if you’re not willing now, we have to talk it over, and you can decide whether you’re willing or not after hearing our conditions. Right?”

Li Yingying followed her grandfather’s words and said, “Yes, yes, yes, let’s go, let’s go home and chat.”

The grandfather and granddaughter, one on the left and one on the right, pulled Yang Chen away.

The Li family looked at each other helplessly and quickly left.

Li Yingying and her grandfather got into Yang Chen’s car and went home in his car.

Li Yingying: “You brat, don’t look so unwilling, okay? I didn’t lie to you, as long as I say I want to get married, all the young people in Jinling City will go crazy for me. It’s your luck that I like you, don’t look so aggrieved, okay?”

Yang Chen: “I’m very satisfied with my current life. Feelings can’t be forced. If I accept you now, it’s definitely not because I like you.”

Li Yingying: “But my family is rich, can’t you like my family’s property if you don’t like me?”

Yang Chen shook his head and said, “I don’t like it.”

The Li family’s wealth of tens of billions was no different from pocket money to Yang Chen. If it fell on the road and there were too many cars, Yang Chen wouldn’t even risk picking it up.

Li Guo: “Haha… young man, you’re tough! I like tough young people like you. We must have a good chat.”

Yang Chen: “Didn’t Miss Li say that as long as she says a word, all the young people in Jinling City will go crazy for her? You can choose one from them, why bother me, a ride-hailing driver?”

Li Guo: “They either like Yingying’s looks or our family’s wealth, and their motives are not pure enough. It’s rare to find a young man like you who doesn’t like Yingying’s looks or our family’s wealth, you’re the only one. It’s too easy to find a grandson-in-law, but it’s not easy to find a simple and pure grandson-in-law.”

Damn it!

Yang Chen was really speechless. Those who liked Li Yingying and the Li family were *xianqi* [disliked] because their motives were impure, while those who didn’t like them were fascinated by them.

Is this the phenomenon of cherishing what you can’t get?

More than half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a villa not far from Xuanwu Lake.

Li Yingying: “This is my home. Get down quickly. While my parents and grandma haven’t come back yet, I’ll take you inside for a tour and let you experience the life of the rich. Maybe you’ll change your mind.”

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, following Li Yingying inside.

“See that? There’s a swimming pool here, which can be heated. If you really want to swim in winter, you can. There’s a fish pond here, with all kinds of freshwater fish in it. You can fish here when you have nothing to do, without having to run far away to find a fishing spot like others. This is a golf course. Although it’s not as big as a professional course, it’s still okay for our own people to play…”

Li Yingying specifically chose things that she thought ordinary people couldn’t enjoy and introduced them in detail, hoping to tempt Yang Chen to accept her.

But Yang Chen just nodded lightly, looking not very interested.

After a tour, the Li family came back.

Li Yingying pulled Yang Chen to sit down and said, “Okay, you’ve visited our house, now we can talk, right?”

Yang Chen: “I don’t think there’s anything to talk about. I’m not interested in you or your family’s property. We’ve only met twice, how could I possibly like you? If I say I like you at this time, the only explanation is that I want to sleep with you or plot your family’s property. Are you sure you want such a husband?”

Li Yingying: “What you said seems to make sense. But, it doesn’t matter, we can date for a while and try it out. If you really don’t feel anything, then I can only give up. But I’m confident that I’m not that bad, and you will definitely fall in love with me after getting along.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… Miss Li, to be honest, you are the most confident girl I have ever met. Okay, I’ll give you this chance. If you can move my heart before I leave Jinling, I will agree to date you.”

Li Yingying: “Okay! It’s a deal.”

The Li family all looked speechless.

Li Yingying’s father, Li Hong, said, “Young man, although our Li family is easy to talk to, you can’t be so arrogant. The way you’re doing this makes it seem like Yingying is fawning over you. Our Li family’s daughter hasn’t reached such a low level.”

Li Yingying: “Dad, what are you doing! I finally met a boy I like, are you going to scare him away? If you scare him away, I won’t marry.”

Li Hong: “You girl, if I don’t suppress his arrogance now, he will bully you even if you two get married in the future. I haven’t let you suffer since you were a child, I can’t let you suffer and be bullied after marriage, right?”

Li Guo: “Haha… Xiao Yang is straightforward and says what he thinks, I think it’s good, it’s better than those hypocrites, or those who are greedy for money and forget righteousness. You guys get along and see, if you’re sure you want to be together, we’ll continue to talk about the bride price and other issues. After all, our Li family is a big family, and we can’t just give our daughter away for nothing. Right?”

Li Yingying: “Grandpa, our family doesn’t lack money, what bride price do we need? He’s just a ride-hailing driver, are you trying to make things difficult for
The Test of Yang Chen’s Abilities_What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (6)

him by asking for a bride price? What if you scare him away?”

Li Guo: “The bride price doesn’t necessarily have to be money. Xiao Yang, I don’t discriminate against you being a ride-hailing driver, but you’ve also seen that our Li family has such a big industry, and you definitely can’t keep this industry if you don’t have the ability. So, the bride price we want is to test your ability, not to ask you for money.”

Li Yingying: “This is good, this is good. Grandpa, how do you want to test him?”

Li Guo: “Doesn’t our family want that piece of land next to Xuanwu Lake? I…”

Li Yingying immediately waved her hand to signal her grandfather not to say it. Several companies couldn’t negotiate for that piece of land, how could they expect Yang Chen, a ride-hailing driver, to negotiate it?

Li Yingying: “Grandpa, I think you might as well ask him for 100 million as a bride price, it’s easier than negotiating for that piece of land.”

Li Guo: “Haha… it’s up to people to make things happen. Xiao Yang will negotiate in the name of our company. As long as he can negotiate it, I will immediately start delegating power to you, and hand over everything in the Li family to you two within the next 2-3 years. If he really can’t negotiate it, there’s no loss, and we’ll see what bride price we want later.”

Yang Chen quickly asked, “Old man, are there many companies eyeing that piece of land next to Xuanwu Lake?”

Li Guo nodded and said, “As far as I know, besides us, Yang Shuo’s family also wants to take it, as well as the Ning family, Dayang Construction, the Third Construction Bureau, Baoli Real Estate, etc., no less than ten companies want that piece of land. I heard that Xuanwu Lake View was bought by a mysterious rich man, and the price has been adjusted to a reasonable range of 50,000 per square meter, so the development value of that piece of land is even higher. The average price of housing in Jinling is more than 20,000, and it can be sold for 50,000 per square meter there, and a high-end residential business card can also be created, which is cost-effective no matter how you look at it.”

If what Li Guo said was true, Yang Chen had to find a way to get that piece of land first.

If it was taken by other companies, except for the Ning family who would listen to Yang Chen’s orders, other companies would not consider his opinions, and they would develop it however they wanted.

Yang Chen: “Then what does the Jinling Municipal Government mean? Will that piece of land be moved [put up for sale]?”

Li Guo: “The Municipal Government intends to develop that piece of land and wants to create a high-end residential area like Xuanwu Lake View.”

In that case, that piece of land will definitely be developed.

Instead of letting others take it, it’s better to take it myself and develop a Xuanwu Lake View Phase II, which is better than letting other companies develop it randomly.

Yang Chen: “Okay, I’ll negotiate.”

Li Guo: “Really?”

Yang Chen: “Of course. But, I’ll say it first, if I negotiate it, I’ll decide how to develop this piece of land.”

Li Guo: “Haha… no problem, as long as you can negotiate this piece of land, you can decide how to develop it. The bidding meeting for this piece of land will be held at the Municipal Government on Friday morning, and you will come with me then.”

Yang Chen: “Okay! Then it’s settled. It’s getting late, I have to go back to rest. Old man, everyone, goodbye.”

Li Yingying: “I’ll see you off!”

Li Yingying quickly got up and took Yang Chen’s arm, acting as if they were already dating.

Li Yingying got into Yang Chen’s car and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll help you. Tomorrow I’ll ask my friend to invite Zhao Guang, the son of Deputy Mayor Zhao Zun, to see if I can ask
The Test of Yang Chen’s Abilities_What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (7)

him to help his father talk about it.”

Yang Chen: “Don’t look for him, that guy is just an empty shell. I saw him being beaten in a bar a few days ago.”

Li Yingying: “Ah? You were there when he was beaten. But that was an accident. The one who beat him was Gao Ang, the vice president of Xingchen Defense’s Jinling branch. It seems that they were bullying Gao Ang’s friend, and Gao Ang stood up for his friend. Our opponents this time are all development companies, not as powerful as Xingchen Defense. His father is in charge of municipal planning, as long as Zhao Guang is willing to help, it will be somewhat useful.”

Yang Chen: “Listen to me, don’t look for him, don’t look for anyone. If you dare to look for anyone, we won’t have any contact in the future, and your family shouldn’t think about that piece of land.”

Li Yingying: “Hehe… why? You’ll be jealous and uncomfortable if I contact other men, right?”

Yang Chen opened the car door and pointed outside, saying, “Get out of the car!”

Li Yingying: “Tch, you’re jealous, but you don’t admit it. Drive carefully, send me a message when you arrive. Bye, good night.”

With that, Li Yingying turned to get out of the car, but suddenly turned back, hugged Yang Chen and kissed him, and bit his lip hard.

“Hiss… why did you bite me?” Yang Chen quickly pushed her away and said.

Li Yingying laughed and said, “Brother, you’ve made a big profit. I’ve never kissed a boy in my life. Don’t put on a look of suffering and grievance. Only by making a man feel pain will he remember the girl who made him feel pain. I’ll make you remember me forever. Bye, good night.”

With that, Li Yingying jumped out of the car happily, covered her face and ran in.

Yang Chen rubbed his lips. Although he didn’t bleed, it was a little swollen. That dead woman bit hard.

Yang Chen calmed down and drove back to the hotel.

He hadn’t driven far when Yang Shuo’s phone call came in.

Yang Shuo: “Hey, where are you?”

Yang Chen: “I just came out of Li Yingying’s house. What’s the matter?”

Yang Shuo: “You don’t really want to be with her, do you?”

Yang Chen: “No, I just went to chat casually, don’t misunderstand.”

Yang Shuo: “I’m warning you, you can’t touch Li Yingying, that bitch can only be mine. I don’t want to make things difficult for you, a ride-hailing driver, but if you dare to have ideas about Li Yingying, don’t blame me for being rude to you.”

Yang Chen: “No… your two families have fought like this, and you still have ideas about her?”

Yang Shuo: “Of course! Precisely because we fought like this, I want to get her even more, otherwise we wouldn’t have fought for nothing?”

Yang Chen: “You’re seeing that she’s an only child and plotting her family’s property, right?”

Yang Shuo: “So what? Don’t you have the same idea? We swapped identities, so we can be considered acquaintances, and we can be very good friends. Don’t worry, as long as you don’t have ideas about her, I will definitely not treat you badly in the future.”

Yang Chen: “I don’t have any ideas about Li Yingying for the time being. No matter what your purpose is to get her, you rely on your own ability to pursue her. If you can get her, it’s your ability, if you can’t get her, it’s your incompetence. Don’t push the responsibility to a third party. Okay? Also, don’t use your broken company to scare me. I’m not interested in targeting you, but if you’re courting death, it’s hard to say.”

Yang Shuo: “Damn! What are you pretending to be with me, a ride-hailing driver? You wouldn’t have been the president for a day and gotten too deep into the role, right? You understand, Baole Culture Media is mine, you’re just a ride-hailing driver!”

Yang Chen: “Too lazy to bother with you! I’ve already warned you, don’t court death.”

Yang Chen sneered and hung up the phone.

It’s not good to be an only child in a wealthy family, because they are always easily *dianji* [targeted].

There’s no way to tell if a man simply likes her or is after her family’s property.

There’s no need to pay attention to this kind of small character, it’s better to think about how to develop that piece of land next to Xuanwu Lake.
